Journal : This story tells about The Gold Spinner Once upon a time, in a great forest, there lived an old
woman and three girls. The three of them were beautiful, but the youngest was the prettiest. Their hut
was quite hidden by trees, and nothing saw their beauty except the sun by day, and the moon by night,
and the eyes of the stars. The old woman made the girls toil, from morning to night, spinning the golden
flax into thread, and when one stick was empty, another was given to them, so that they did not rest.
The thread had to be smooth and even, and when finished it was locked in a secret room by the old
woman, who made two or three trips each summer. Before he left, he gave work for each day of his
absence, and always came back at night, so the girls never saw what he was carrying,
